Sunday: Swapped my long run workout with a regular run because of the wind, so just 8 miles of easy running plus strides.

Total Miles: 62.3

This week was an average week of training: nothing great and nothing bad either. My legs are feeling a bit crummy again, but I suspect that’s because I’m finally able to push myself again rather than fighting chronic oxygen debt. I’m not sure why my lower back is bothering me, but I’m hoping that stretching plus the magic of taper will resolve that before November 22nd!

I’ll do my long run workout tomorrow (2 hours with 8 miles at marathon pace, 6:30). Because I pushed my workout to tomorrow, it makes the end of my week crowded with a Thursday/Friday workout combo. The State Meet is on Saturday, so I won’t aim to do any of my own running that day, but will be cheering and running all over the course.
